Ever since it was confirmed that Pom Klementieff would be playing Mantis in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 fans have been wondering how the film will visualise the character.

To mark the fact that production on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 is now officially underway the film’s Twitter account has posted the first official promo photo from the upcoming sequel. It features the returning Guardians – Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and (aw!) Baby Groot – in an image that could be the cover of a ’70s rock album (obviously reflecting the whole mix-tape theme).

Marvel and James Gunn must know what they’re doing. You don’t send a script for one of the most eagerly-awaited superhero sequel movies to Hollywood’s biggest security leak unless you want a bit sneaky of publicity.
